Wonderschool is a leading provider of comprehensive childcare solutions. Wonderschool helps educators, families, and state leaders increase the health of the childcare landscape. Backed by a16z and 500 Global.
About the role
The North Star for this role: a system where a user signal (a provider revenue dropping, an enrollment bottleneck, a churn spike) automatically triggers a chain of AI agents that writes the product requirements, designs the solution, builds the code, reviews it, and ships it. No human in the loop for the routine stuff. Humans define what matters, train the agents, and review edge cases. We are not there yet. You are the person who helps us get there, piece by piece.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer
- Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, or similar) in a real development workflow
- Strong product instincts: you can take ambiguous user signals and turn them into concrete technical requirements without heavy PM support
- Proficiency with React/TypeScript and at least one backend language (Node.js, Elixir, Ruby on Rails, or similar)
- Experience with Postgres or similar relational databases
- High ownership mentality: you do not wait to be told something is broken
More about this role
Wonderschool builds software that helps small business owners earn more money. We started with childcare providers because it is a large, underserved market where technology can have an outsized impact on revenue. But the model scales: we are building a platform and a playbook that will expand into other verticals.
We are heavy users of AI. OpenClaw agents run most of our operations: provider outreach, customer communications, enrollment workflows, compliance tasks. Non-engineers at Wonderschool spin up automations, cron jobs, and API workflows directly from Slack, without touching a line of code. We are now taking the next step: making AI agents reliable enough to build the product itself.
Our team is small and moves fast. We value engineers who are obsessed with outcomes, not process.
